More Hiragana Practice

I found more basic Japanese words and phrases. Looks like it's time for more hiragana practice. I'll use the same format as before for consistency:

romaji (english meaning) - hiragana

• konnichiwa (hello) - こんにちわ
• hai (yes) - はい
• iie (no) - いいえ
• sumimasen (excuse me) - すみません
• sayōnara (goodbye - long term) - さよおなら
• sore dewa (goodbye - informal) - それでわ
• konbanwa (good evening) - こんばんわ
• ohayō gozaimasu (good morning) - おはよおございます

Technically, written Japanese has no spaces between groups of characters that constitute words. Because of this, it would be really hard to read Japanese text if everything is in hiragana. That's where kanji comes in. But, I'll save that for another lesson.
